If you must know, I will tell you: the Nobel Committee does not like speculations about awardees, and there is even speculation that it specifically disfavors highly speculated persons. I cannot prove it, but I believe that is what jinxed our respected Mr. Chinua Achebe, because he was speculated every year for so many years before he died.
I want Obi to please keep his speculations to himself, unless of course he has an agenda to de-Nobelize some people.
And there you have it. We shall see in a few hours or so...
